Channel Steve launched

April 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Today I launched my new blog - Channel Steve at the web address www.channelsteve.com For those not already aware, I leave Australia on May 21 for a year-long working adventure in Vietnam. I’ll be teaching English and IT whilst over there and during that time Rock Portrait Photography will effectively be on hold. The purpose of Channel Steve is twofold. Primarily it serves as my personal blog and single-entry point into all of my online activity.  It is also intended to provide me with a photojournalism-style outlet... [Read the full story]

Photography for Musicians - Published in Forte Magazine

February 12, 2009 · 3 Comments 

Working in the rock photography business means you are regularly challenged by the scores of music fans with cameras - whether it be directly when you’re trying to work around them at a gig, or via bands who don’t yet understand the difference between fan-shot images, and professional, marketable ones.  You know, I’ve even met management representatives who don’t understand the difference. Late last year I wrote a two-page spread for Forte magazine in a contribution to their “Essential Young... [Read the full story]

Once upon a time there was only one way to enjoy looking at photographs - by printing them out. Of course things have changed and now it’s far less common to print your photos as it is to keep them digitally. Personally I don’t print my photos other than to enlarge them for wall hanging. I find photo albums to be time consuming and messy to make, and I rarely look at them again. Most photos are printed from print kiosks that output less than satisfactory prints, and the prints themselves usually stay in their... [Read the full story]

Cricket legends meet a kid with a camera

April 3, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

One of the real joys of growing up as a sport-loving kid in Victoria is being able to experience the magnificent arena that is the MCG.  Our footy and cricket heroes seem to be much larger than life in that venue than anywhere else, and I get the impression that other sporting cultures don’t offer quite the accessibility to our heroes as we do here in Australia. Back when I was just a little tacker I lived in the country, but on rare occasions I was fortunate enough to have been taken to the cricket or footy in Melbourne. ... [Read the full story]

Tokyo by night

December 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

OK - what day is it? What city am I in? What haven’t I told you about yet?  Hmmm - I don’t know the answer to any of those questions, but I’m going to tell you a little about one of the best places to be at night - Tokyo. You saw Bladerunner, right?  Me too. And Tokyo really isn’t like that. But it is full of bright lights and amazing signage that just draws the eye in.  It’s full of people all night long. From Asia II - Tokyo by night It’s full of homeless as well. But the... [Read the full story]

Photo Challenge 10 - Photographer

March 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Well, we come to an end after 20 weeks of the original strict Photo Challenge format. We’ve lost two contributors along the way, with a third just hanging in there. I am benefiting creatively by shooting in styles I am not familiar with, so instead of setting formal challenges online each fortnight I’m going to change the structure into something far more casual.  Any reader wishing to suggest a theme or get involved in a challenge should feel encouraged to do so, no matter what level they believe their photographic... [Read the full story]
